If your point is that we shouldn’t make arguments when we don’t know all the facts, then you’re going to end up with us talking about nothing. ESPECIALLY when it comes to contract negotiations.

All we can do is make arguments and conversation based on what we know, which may or may not be true. I’m going to go ahead and continue doing that, because it’s fun. It shouldn’t have to be repeatedly said that opinions are opinions, based on whatever is out there, and even my opinion that someone is wrong, is simply an opinion.

Strange Brew’s opinion that Tkachuk would sign an offer sheet of $10 mil on any team is an opinion based on the info available.
Textcritic’s opinion that Tkachuk would only sign an offer sheet if it helped him sign with the Flames is an opinion based on the info available.

If you have a different opinion, let’s go. But if your only opinion is that “we can’t know these things” then you’re not going to have much fun.

Right, because discussion on rumours and what ifs equals arguing your point and using hypotheticals as supporting evidence.... right.

Have a great day guys.
